Janell Ernst

I had the pleasure of working with Janell for many years at the City of Flint and consider her to be one of my closest friends. She wasn't just a dedicated employee; she was the epitome of kindness, intelligence and an understated strength that lightened the most difficult days. Her sharp wit and hearty laughter will be sorely missed. She showed me what it meant to balance professionalism with genuine humility. I will always remember her for supporting me through my losses and struggles, as well as sharing my joy during the births of my grandkids. And, of course, she taught me to always love cats. I'm sending my most sincere condolences to Jerry, her mom and the rest of her family and friends.

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ the staff at Deisler Funeral Home

We worked on the school papers at Saginaw Buena Vista and Central Michigan. She was a great friend and allowed me to be her insurance agent. As the Class of 1976 president I pray Janell rests in peace

Janell was a great co worker and even better friend. She was the best to talk to and we shared a love of kitties. I will truly miss her. Love you Janell

So sad to hear about Janell. During my first year at CMU we both lived in Barnard Hall where a lot of friendships were made among all of us there as part of the Freshman Class. She was smart and had a bright future. The world is now less one great person. Hope she lives on with everyone she knew through the memories of which she was apart.
